Qiu Guokai’s face turned pale and he was stiff for a while, his finger on the dial key. He hesitated for a moment, thinking that he was hallucinating. After thinking about it, he continued to make the call that had not been completed.
Almost at the same second, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew into the room with closed windows and doors.
Wei Xi and Shuo Zong stood up suddenly. This time they heard a very angry voice faintly coming from the direction of the stairs – “You dare!!”
However, apart from them, it seemed that only Qiu Guokai heard it. And Qiu Guokai didn’t hear it so clearly, he just vaguely heard a movement, but it was enough to scare him half to death, and he dropped the phone he had dialed to the ground: “It’s happening again!!!”
The phone on the ground was connected after a moment, and a young woman’s voice came out: “Hello? Husband?”
Then a vague shadow floated over from the direction of the stairs and yelled at the woman on the phone, “Shameless %￥#&*￥#!
Shuo Zong was silent for a while, and Wei Xi finally saw the appearance of the ghost clearly. He frowned in confusion. It turned out to be a fat old lady who died of old age.
However, the old lady stood with her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows. She didn’t look friendly at all. After scolding Mrs. Qiu on the phone, she stood there and started to scold Qiu Guokai: “You idiot￥%#&…”
People who died of old age had no obsessions when they died. Ordinary people generally could not feel it unless they had too much Yin energy. Qiu Guokai faintly heard the sound, and quickly hung up the phone and looked up at the sky in panic: “That’s the sound! That’s the sound! It usually curses people and then sings when it goes to sleep at night. It’s scary and ugly!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady ghost became furious and swung her arm to slap him in the face.
Qiu Guokai covered his face with his hands in even greater horror: “Woo!!!”
Shuo Zong saw that he almost collapsed out of fright. Although he felt puzzled, he finally caught the old lady. However, considering her age, he was still quite polite. But who knew that the ghost was so fierce. She looked back at him and was still cursing. Wei Xi was immediately angry. How dare you scold my apprentice? If you don’t accept my toast, you will have to be punished!
He raised his hand and made a seal to silence the old lady’s voice.
This really stirred up a hornet’s nest. There was a rumbling sound behind him, and a large group of souls appeared from nowhere, screaming and rushing towards him. Upon closer inspection, they were all old, weak and sick.
Wei Xi was not afraid of the group fight at all. Seeing this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and was about to join in. At this time, the second disciple seemed to have discovered something and stretched out his hand to stop him: “Look at their appearance carefully.”
Wei Xi paused in rolling up his sleeves, then he suddenly realized that the old lady his apprentice was holding looked exactly like the portrait that Qiu Guokai had just worshipped.
In the time it took him to be distracted, the ghosts had already floated over. They didn’t dare to cause trouble for Wei Xi but swarmed around Qiu Guokai and began to beat and scold him crazily. One old man ghost was so angry that he used his walking stick to hit Qiu Guokai on the head, cursing as he hit him: “Unfilial son! Unfilial son! Not only can you not control your wife, but you actually dared to bring people back to bully your mother!!!”
Qiu Guokai was beaten to the ground, and he felt that the buzzing sound that he originally heard suddenly became very loud. He didn’t know why, so he looked so terrified that he seemed to be about to collapse.
Wei Xi: “What the hell???”
Shuo Zong was also silent for a while, let go of the old lady, stretched out his hand and made a gesture. Everyone present felt as if a veil was lifted before their eyes, and when their vision became clear, they were all shocked.
Tuan Tuanyi jumped up and down: “Where did all these people come from?”
Qiu Guokai covered his head and saw clearly who beat him. The horror on his face was instantly replaced by a blank: “…Dad?”
As soon as the old lady was unsealed, she went into the ghost group and tried to stop the fight. Seeing her son finally see her, she couldn’t help crying: “You idiot! When will you find out that your head is glowing green?!”
….
The atmosphere in the Qiu family’s living room suddenly became very strange.
Qiu Guokai cried bitterly in his mother’s arms. While Lin Hanyang’s expression twitched: “…So, the ghost who has been pestering Old Qiu and talking to him recently is actually you, uncle and aunt?”
The old ghost with a cane glared: “Who is bothering him? I don’t care about him! Only his mother has nothing to do but chase behind him all day long. She gave birth to such a fool. It’s embarrassing. I might as well beat him to death!”
It seemed that he was the one who beat the man and there was no way he could escape. Tuan Tuanyi secretly sat a little further away from him.
Lin Hanyang was silent for a while, and then felt something was wrong again: “Oh? That’s not right. Old Qiu can’t see you at all, and can’t hear you talking clearly, but he said that he saw a black shadow when he came home from a business trip. Could that black shadow be you?”
As soon as these words came out, the Qiu family’s ancestors immediately showed embarrassed expressions on their faces. The old man said hatefully: “He came to our house in the middle of the night when he was not at home. Use your brain to think about who it is!”
“Mom!!!” Qiu Guokai, who was in the old lady’s ghostly arms, immediately burst into tears, “How could Xuan Xuan do this to me!!!”
“Your dad was so angry that he chased you to the company and beat you up. Your grandparents and I also tried every way to remind you, but you didn’t notice it at all!” The old lady was angry and heartbroken. After scolding her, she couldn’t help but touch her son’s chubby face and shed tears together: “Don’t cry, look at your little face, you must have suffered a lot recently, you’ve become so thin.”
Lin Hanyang: “…”
Lin Hanyang tried hard not to look at his old classmate’s chubby face, but he was still puzzled: “No, did you give him any hints? I haven’t heard him mention it.”
The old man stabbed the ground with his walking stick: “Didn’t we let him watch TV?”
Lin Hanyang: “???”
The old lady ghost explained: “It’s Hirugao[1]. It’s what’s played every time.”
Lin Hanyang: “…Ah.”
Qiu Guokai was calmed down by his mother, but he was still crying. Lin Hanyang also understood him. To be honest, the truth he got now was worse than the fact that there was really a ghost in his house.
But what should he do next? After all, there was no evidence that his wife was cheating on him. If he asked her directly, she would definitely not admit it.
Qiu Guokai wiped away his tears, sniffed, sat up angrily, and turned to Wei Xi, who was playing with his phone out of boredom after the incident was over.
“Master, can I apply for a membership card of your company?” He said this, and then continued to sob, “Does the discount for the private detective agency mentioned before still count now?”
